The win was the swimmers' fifth straight. With only Dartmouth and Yale left, the record shows seven wins and and a loss to Army.

The freshman team easily beat a good Exeter squad in the preliminary, 42 to 33.

Captain Joe Fox and Bob Berke starred for the varsity. Between them they took first places in all the freestyle events, Berke taking the 220 and 440-yard events, and Fox winning the 50- and 100-yard sprints as well as anchoring the winning 400-yard freestyle relay quartet.
